"Family Resilience And Mind-body Enhancement" (FRAME): A Randomised Controlled Trial (FRAME)
Effects of "Family Resilience And Mind-body Enhancement" (FRAME) - a Mind-body Intervention for Parents With Autistic Children: A Randomised Controlled Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a family resilience and mind-body programme called "Family Resilience And Mind-body Enhancement" (FRAME) works to support families with autistic children. The main question it aims to answer is:
- What are the effectiveness and acceptability of FRAME for families with autistic children?
Researchers will compare FRAME to a waitlist group (participants who receive the programme after the study ends) to see if FRAME makes a difference.
Participants will:
- Attend six weekly 2-hour group sessions, each combining mind-body practices and family resilience concepts
- Practise mindfulness exercises at home between sessions
- Complete questionnaires before and immediately after the programme, and 3 months later

Eksperimentel: Family Resilience And Mind-body Enhancement" (FRAME)
|
Family Resilience And Mind-body Enhancement (FRAME) is a parent-focused mind-body intervention designed for parents of autistic children. Across six weekly 2hr sessions, FRAME integrates mind-body practices - which have demonstrated efficacy among families with autistic children - with Walsh's three domains of family resilience, namely belief systems, organizational patterns and communication processes. The mind-body component will be adapted from MYmind - an established mindfulness-based intervention specifically developed for children with ASD/ADHD and their parents. Each session follows a standard format: a review on home practice, guided mind-body practices and structured group discussions and activities targeting each domain of family resilience. Session content progresses sequentially across the six sessions. Between sessions, participants are encouraged to practise daily using the workbook provided. |
